I Ching/Interpretation

Notes: In the table below,
 * 1) The column "SC" gives the name of the Gua in Simplified Chinese.
 * 2) The third column (Name And Decision Of Gua) gives the name and meaning of each hexagram according to King Wen. The term "Decision Of Gua" is sometimes translated as "Judgement of the Gua".
 * 3) The last column (Symbolic Interpretation) interprets the two trigrams (symbols) constituting the hexagram. For example, Hexagram 64 is described as "Fire over water" because BEFORE COMPLETION is a hexagram made up of the "Fire" trigram on top, and the "Water" trigram below. In the same way, Hexagram 33 is described as "Mountain under Heaven".
 * 4) All the columns are sortable. For example, if we sort the third column, we may expeditiously find the name of a hexagram, as the names will be sorted alphabetically in ascending order.
